.05 Hectates "The crown jewel in the family’s holdings is their Le Montrachet"

Domaine Lamy-Pillot is typical of the small family-run estates which dot the Burgundian landscape, giving this prestigious wine region its unique homespun charm and endless diversity of wine styles. The domaine was founded in 1973 by René and Thérèse Lamy-Pillot who chose to make their home in the rural hamlet of Morgeot in Chassagne-Montrachet.

Over the years the couple have expanded the domaine to include 20 hectares of vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay, Meursault and Beaune. Today, the estate is managed by their kids Florence and Karine, and their sons-in-law, Sébastien and Daniel.

The crown jewel in the family’s holdings is their Le Montrachet plot which is considered to be the finest terroir for white Burgundies. The Montrachet vineyard enjoys a prime hillside position with plentiful exposure to sunshine to ripen the Chardonnay grapes in Burgundy’s notoriously fickle climate and well-draining soils to remove excess rainfall. Here Lamy-Pillot’s vines rub shoulders with fabulously famous and expensive neighbours like Bouchard Père et Fils and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

The typical Lamy-Pillot style features crisp, pure fruit and a distinctive flinty minerality. Great attention to detail in the vineyard produces exceptional quality fruit which reflects both the terroir and the specific weather conditions of each particular vintage. This dedication and hard work in the vineyard produces top quality grapes which need relatively little intervention in the winery.
